Hey lads,

Here's my Ork army list:

==========================
HQ- Ork Warboss (2) (AoBR Warboss)

Elites – Nobz (12)

Troops – Ork boyz (51), Ork Trukk (1)

Fast Attack – Deff Kopta (6)

---------------------------------------------------

It totals up to be about 1000pts.

I know its small and pitiful, but I'm planning on selling it for $60 at my Local Battle Bunker when I get that chance.
And with the money I shall play as Tau.

So...

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1= Your army sucks lol, 10 = Best army evah!) What would you rate my army?

6. It's a pretty decent sized force, but I get rid of 1 of the Warboss's. Replace it with a painboy maybe?

Honestly...a 2 or 3. Tops.

First off, I have no idea how you intend on breaking these up into units, so I can only make asumptions, based on what models you've listed.

I can only presume that you're doing 3 units of 2 Deff Koptas to make it look like a larger army.
With no extra wargear, however, they're gonna get shot to sh*t and not be very effective. You need to convert some buzzsaws onto these.

Now, you're got 1 Warboses... Doing what?
At best, you can attach 1 to a boyz unit to get him into combat faster. That leaves one with no purpose.

So, for troops, I'll have to assume you're looking at this:

1) Nob, 9 Boyz, Trukk (attach Warboss)
2) Nob, 21 Boyz (If they're foot slogging, they need to be BIG)
3) Nob, 21 Boyz (If they're foot slogging, they need to be BIG)

This leaves you with 9 Nobs left... You can attach your other Warboss to them, I guess, and keep them in the Elite slot.
They're going to be a high prioroty target, though. They'll get shot up then run off the table.

So, your only fast elements are the Koptas and Trukk Boyz/Boss.
Everything else is left with their d***'s hanging in the wind.

As an army, it's REALLY not good.
What it CAN be used for, however, is a good starting point for an army, or a good addition to an existing horde.
Anyone playing Apoc Orks needs a TON of Boyz. You're providing half of a Green Tide here. That's good.
You have a Trukk... Boyz need Trukks.

Nobs by themselves are junk. I hate seeing them as units. I don't think they're worth the points (that is just opinion, folks... please - no flames. Put your Burnas away LOL). They'd be good for someone who has a bunch of boyz units without Nobs. Considering how the Boyz are packaged, though, those people will be relatively rare.

Nobs make good Kommando conversions. You could do THAT.

Buzzsaws for the Deff Koptas can be converted from plasticard, or you can just loot some of the Catachan Sentinel chainsaw attachments and call it good enough. Personally, though, I'd go for oversized Buzzsaws.


Needs a bit of work but, if presented properly (not as a force by itself, but as a STARTER force, or as a good addition to an existing horde), it could be made to look attractive.

If you're painting it before selling it, I suggest painting one unit of Koptas so it can be its' own unit OR be split in half and added to the other 2 units to make 2 units of 3.

Warboss with 10 nobz in the trukk, throw the other 2 nobz into the boyz units.

25 boyz (plus a nob)
26 boyz (plus a nob)

i would use the koptas in a unit of 5 and ditch the other one, 3 will run away too quickly.
